Yes, we won the Carling
Cup, our first trophy in six years but the Carling Cup despite offering a Europa
league spot is not a Cup taken very seriously by most of the top teams. It is more
of an exposure tournament for their younger players. No disrespect but two
Championship teams got into the semi finals and that says a lot.
What is wrong
with LFC? Spending 100 million on players doesn’t guarantee success, especially
if you can only get expensive second choices.
Suarez and
Enrique are the only success amongst Kenny Dalglish’s purchases since he took
over.
Adam somehow
looks like a player only good enough for Blackpool (no disrespect to Balckpool
but Gerrard, Lampard or Bekham at 26 won’t sign for Blackpool).
Carroll looks
like a top striker – in the Championship.
Downing – let’s
accept the fact that he has always been second best. Failure to get Ashley
Young means you have to buy his back-up?
Henderson is one
for the future, I’m sure he’ll come good one day. The day sadly has yet to come.
Gerrard is
getting a little bit old and injury prone. He is still very good but cannot be
relied on as before.
Kuyt is
hardworking but hardwork needs to be translated into goals which he has failed
to do so far. He is also getting older and may not be able to contribute as
much as he did before.
Spearing and
Kelly are not the young Gerrard and Carragher.
Our problem
seems to be scoring goals despite having two top rated strikers. I’m not a
football expert but I think Carroll needs a good winger to serve him. Maybe Maxi
can do the job Downing failed? Can we entice Robben or Ribery to come to
Merseyside?
My hope is if
Dalglish keeps most of the present team for next season, they would hopefully have
grown an understanding with each other and are able to play better as a team. The team has played some beautiful football
this season but killing off teams seem to be a problem.
Let’s try to win
the FA Cup. That’s all we have left.
